A journey towards the unexplored, towards that fleeting moment where creation is in gestation, a reminder of the beauty and infinite possibility that exists in the space and the instant between what was and what will be.
Mar García is the founder and creative director of Marlota, a Spanish contemporary fashion brand linked to other artistic disciplines.
With twenty years of experience in the international market, Japan is one of its main markets as well as Europe.
As the newspaper "EL PAÍS" wrote in March 2024, "Marlota creates multidisciplinary events to express the values of a firm that goes far beyond fashion".
Educated in fashion in Madrid, the U.K. and Germany, Mar Garcias passion for art leads her to create a brand in constant search of balance between opposites through transversal conversations between different artistic disciplines. Far from labels, her designs move in contradiction. From idealism to pragmatism, from the emotional to the intellectual, from the feminine to the masculine.
The emotional factor of the pieces she creates connects immaterially with art. As a way of reflecting on new ways of being and being, establishing a dialogue around constant change and the beauty of movement through dance, sculpture, literature, video, or photography.
Marlota's garments allow us to project that which is not seen. A disembodied sensation that materialises in the void between the fabric and the skin: the 'MA', as the Japanese call it, that space that envelops the body and allows movement. Linked to the emotion produced by beauty, Mar believes in the transformative power of the garments she creates. From the architecture of her patterns, she converts the fabric into silhouettes whose volumes integrate and respect the human figure in an honest way. Her pieces connect symbolically and materially with nature, in a constant search for the origin of things, where less is more, and always enough.
